Increments or decrements the underlying iterator `current` and the distance to the end `length`.

The behavior of these functions is undefined if the `length` would be set to a minus value.

1) Pre-increments by one. Equivalent to ++current; --length; return *this;.
2) Post-increments by one. Equivalent to --length; try { return current++; } catch(...) { ++length; throw; }.
3) Post-increments by one. Equivalent to counted_iterator temp{*this}; ++*this; return temp;.
4) Pre-decrements by one. Equivalent to --current; ++length; return *this;.
5) Post-decrements by one. Equivalent to counted_iterator temp{*this}; --*this; return temp;.
6) Returns an iterator adaptor which is advanced by n. Equivalent to return counted_iterator(current + n, length - n);.
7) Advances the iterator adaptor by n. Equivalent to current += n; length -= n; return *this;.
8) Returns an iterator adaptor which is advanced by -n. Equivalent to return counted_iterator(current - n, length + n);.
9) Advances the iterator adaptor by -n. Equivalent to current -= n; length += n; return *this;.

### Parameters

n | - | the number of positions to increment or decrement the iterator adaptor

### Return value

1) *this
2,3) A copy of *this that was made before the change.
4) *this
5) A copy of *this that was made before the change.
6) An iterator adaptor which is advanced by n.
7) *this
8) An iterator adaptor which is advanced by -n.
9) *this

### Example

Run this code

    #include <cassert>
    #include <initializer_list>
    #include <iterator>

    int main()
    {
        const auto v = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
        std::counted_iterator<std::initializer_list<int>::iterator> it1{v.begin(), 5};

        ++it1;              assert(*it1 == 2 && it1.count() == 4); // (1)
        auto it2 = it1++;   assert(*it2 == 2 && *it1 == 3);        // (3)
        --it1;              assert(*it1 == 2 && it1.count() == 4); // (4)
        auto it3 = it1--;   assert(*it3 == 2 && *it1 == 1);        // (5)
        auto it4 = it1 + 3; assert(*it4 == 4 && it4.count() == 2); // (6)
        auto it5 = it4 - 3; assert(*it5 == 1 && it5.count() == 5); // (8)
        it1 += 3;           assert(*it1 == 4 && it1.count() == 2); // (7)
        it1 -= 3;           assert(*it1 == 1 && it1.count() == 5); // (9)
    }
